Essential for any woman

My gender studies course used this book as required reading. Although I hesitated at first (because I have no interest in economics or taxes), I realized that this topic is essential to a greater understanding of personal finances and of inequalities that are inherent to the current governmental system. The book is basic enough that a tax idiot (me) would understand and value the information presented. I would recommend Taxes Are a Woman's Issue to any woman that would like to acquire a better understanding of a system that effects her pocketbook to a great extent.
